Our veterans are made of grit, honor and duty. Those strengths last a lifetime and become a way of life for the veterans who aid fellow service members.
On Day 1, a recruit steps off the bus for basic training, knowing that the next few months will be hell. But it’s not about trying to make the recruits fail, it’s about proving that they can do incredibly hard things and overcome them and that they don’t shatter like a piece of glass. This is where Badass Training begins, and it works. Just ask any grunt in Sniper, Sapper, Pathfinder or Jump School; a Marine who’s completed the 54-hour Crucible; the sailor who finished Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training or the Airman who graduated from pararescue training. The training that service members go through is grueling, but it instills in them everything they need to be successful on the battlefield and in life: grit, honor and duty. Grit keeps us alive, honor keeps us human and duty drives us to accomplish the impossible.
